Juniper Networks announced the next generation of its best in class WXC application acceleration platforms – the WXC 1800 priced at US$4,895 (supports up to 10 connections), the WXC 2600 at US$12,395 (supports up to 20 connections), and the WXC 3400 at US $24,995 (supports up to 140 connections).

The new WXC hardware provides a highly scalable and modular platform, which delivers higher disk capacities and performance in a smaller form factor. They help businesses make the most efficient use of their existing WAN resources and improve application response times by providing a more LAN-like experience for branch office users accessing centralized applications.

The new WXC appliances provide distributed enterprises with a more scalable, modular and cost-effective approach to delivering fast and consistent application response across the WAN to help ensure uncompromised access to mission-critical applications and services.

High-performance businesses are required to provide their employees, partners and customers with real-time access to important applications and services to meet business objectives. They can’t afford the risk of slow or unpredictable application performance across the WAN because it disrupts business.

Juniper’s next-generation WXC hardware provides a highly scalable and modular platform, which delivers higher disk capacities and performance in a smaller form factor. They help businesses make the most efficient use of their existing WAN resources and improve application response times by providing a more LAN-like experience for branch office users accessing centralized applications.

The new platforms use software that fully automates provisioning and management tasks, which provide the network and application visibility to help deliver applications exactly as intended.

The WXC platforms improve application performance over the WAN by recognizing and eliminating redundant transmissions, accelerating TCP and application-specific protocols, prioritizing and allocating access to bandwidth and ensuring high application availability at sites with multiple WAN links. On-board hard drives provide support for Network Sequence Caching, which enable the devices to store repeated data patterns, and can produce up to a 100-fold increase in effective WAN capacity.

The new appliances can accelerate WAN traffic up to 2 Mbps for the WXC 1800 – typically deployed at small to medium branch offices; up to 8 Mbps for the WXC 2600 – typically deployed at medium to large branch offices and small data centers; and up to 45 Mbps for the WXC 3400 – typically deployed at higher speed remote locations, head office or data centers.

The new WXC platforms also support Juniper’s universal Field Replaceable Units, which simplify logistical management and ordering for distributors and Juniper support depots, can reduce stocking costs and help lower the carbon footprint because less sheet-metal and corrugated-cardboard is produced, stored and transported. In addition to helping its partners improve operational and cost efficiencies, Juniper is demonstrating one of its key corporate social responsibility initiatives of developing products that can reduce corporate impact on the environment.

“Juniper’s best-in-class WXC application acceleration platform has been deployed by some of the world’s largest organizations based on its ability to fuel large-scale, high-stake customer interactions and transactions real-time,” said Matt Kolon, Asia Pacific CTO for Juniper Networks. “Our next-generation WXC platforms demonstrate our ongoing commitment to delivering the most flexible and scalable solutions that enable high-performance businesses to use their applications to accelerate a competitive advantage.”

Pricing and Availability

The Juniper Networks WXC 1800, 2600 and 3400 appliances are available today through Juniper Networks and its global network of reseller partners. The list price for the new appliances start at US$4,895 for the WXC 1800 with support up to 10 connections, US$12,395 for the WXC 2600 with support up to 20 connections, and US $24,995 for the WXC 3400 with support up to 140 connections.

Previously, we did discuss about the possibility of rich web applications being the catalyst to boost the sales of computer (laptops, desktops and etc) because new computers would come with better hardware specifications.

CNET attempts to find out the better between AMD Athlon 64 x 2 and Intel Duo Core and it concludes the winner as AMD. To know why, find out more.

But the bigger problem is how to test if your processor and RAM(s) are really not malfunction ? It is not easy, compared to testing the battery duration of your laptop as claimed by the sales person. For instance, Fujitsu claimed that Lifebook A6010E with a basic 4-cell battery can last 2.8 hours. However, make sure that it is on standby mode or safe-mode of Windows XP.

Very funny.

In actually fact, a 4-cell battery on Fujitsu Lifebook A6010E can last around 1 hour and 15 minutes with normal usage (non-server, no gaming and etc); just a few web browsers windows, office application and perhaps outlook express.
